Why is my pass. side high beam so much higher than the driver's side??? Here is a pic:
*The pass. side and driver's side low beams are both level with each other *
http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/100/l_b1b9e0e29b7247eb93e55123e9284cc8.jpg

I originally thought that the aiming screw above the high beam bulb was strictly for the high beam bulb, but upon turning it to lower the right high beam, I found that it is for both the high and the low beam!!!

So in this pic^^^^ It may look like the passenger side low beam is aimed higher than the driver's side, but its not... The passenger side low beam bulb is somehow just a little brighter than the driver's side. But they are completely level in this pic!

I also checked to make sure the pass. side high beam bulb is not crooked in the socket in any way, and its not... So this is what Im working with...

Is there another aiming screw on each headlight or something? What am I not getting here?

Thanks

My guess is the driver's side is probably lower so that it doesn't blind oncoming traffic.

I'll take a look at mine tomorrow night

I believe you're right; they're that way by design.

mine is like that also. And apparently you have yellow high beams as I do. They lack of output. I don't use it as with the fog + the phillips crystal vision I get enough to drive.

No, the head lights should be equally level. His are not aimed properly.

My yellow highs have plenty of output for me...

Really? How do you aim them to change that?

So far I have people saying theyre supposed to be like that, and people saying theyre not...

Can someone post pics of your lights on a wall?

I have the same problem, my low beams are lined up, but my high bean is uneven. and i am using stock bulbs.

Hey, I`ll have to check tonight..i`ll let you know

Any of you guys ever been in an accident with these cars?

my passenger high beam is higher than driver side. my car is just small dents and taps from city parking, but accident-free.

Well that makes me feel a little better... I bought the car certified from a Honda dealer 3 months ago with only 20,000 miles on it and the carfax was clean.

Just making sure because one of the guys over on v6p asked if my car had been in an accident.... My answer was no according to all records

I think everybody in this thread should take a look at how their high/low situation looks tonight and possibly take a pic... But if not at least post their findings.... This seems very interesting to me that some people have it and some seem to think its not supposed to be that way.

So far I am starting to get content with the thought that it is just how it was made...

It's against the law to use your high beams while passing oncoming traffic. My high beams are level.

That picture looks great. HID/retrofit?

Reminds me of a Lamborghini Reventon.

surprisingly no, lol, just stock. maybe just cause it was dark in there??

A member over on v6p suggested that maybe it was a bad molding from mfg... And I have noticed that the people in this thread who seem to have the same issue with theirs are owners of 7.5 gens like me... Maybe it was a batch of bad moldings on 7.5 gens?

Those dont look like high beams... I am talking about my highs... Can you post pics of those?

Btw nice car :thumbsup:

I appreciate it

Hm, do us a favor and take a picture with your highs only (you know, turn your lights off and pull back on the lever to flash only your high beams) if you can. I wonder if the dealership would level your headlights for free. Probably not though.

You can adjust the high beam? How?

I readjusted my lights after lowering my car because they pointed at the ground and I couldn't see shit. I would like to know how to adjust the high since I drive before sunrise frequently on unlighted roads :D

All you gotta do is reaim your lights. It could also be that the bulb was not inserted correctly.

When you pull back the lever (with lights off) it flashes both the highs and lows (at least in my car) so Im not sure how I would do that... As for the dealer leveling my lights, there is only one aiming screw and that aims both the lows and highs together... Already tried.

You cant... It adjusts the lows and highs together.

Tried reaiming... If I bring the high beam lower, the low moves respective of it... So the low becomes lower too. I checked to see if the bulb was seated correctly and it was... Ill re-check it tomorrow though just to double check

I dunno about the high beams, but the driver's side low beams have a different cutoff shape than the pass. low beams by design for sure, so maybe it's the same with the high beams?

I'll look at mine tomorrow as well and report back. Although with that drastic difference in direction it may be bad installation when your yellow highs were installed.

Maybe your bulb isnt it properly, mine are completely level.

I wish you guys would read just a little more... (no offense) but I already stated a couple times that my bulb is properly seated.

Ok guys here is a little update on my sich-eee-a-shun...

I switched the high beam bulbs tonight (from left to right and vice versa) and found something pretty interesting out....

It was the actual bulb and not the way it was seated or the light assembly.

When I put it on the driver's side, it seemed to make the highs a little more level and even however the high now seems a little off... But it is WAY better as far as being level with each other...

I can live with it the way it is right now! When I am driving and come up on a hill or something, the highs actually make a good "V" shape now without one side really being high over the other... here are the pics:

Do they still seem to be a little off or no?

IMO, before your pass. high beams was a lot higher than the left one, and the pass. low beam was a bit higher than the driver's side one.

Now, it's completely reversed, albeit to a smaller degree.

agreed, but like 95% better

yeah before the pass. high beam was way higher... But I havent changed the low... It has been level the whole time

I agree... This way is a lot better... Id say about 90 to 95 percent too

My passenger high beam is also slightly higher than the driver side. I was annoyed by it at first, but quickly got over it LOL.

Switch the bulbs around just for kicks and see what happens

Been there done that. I've tried and tried, still no cigar, I honestly don't mind it, and it seems to me that it's since most signs on the highway are also on the left, you can see them a lot sooner. I don't use my highs much other than flashing them.

EDIT:

Also, since your drivers high beam is higher now, you might blind other drivers, so take that into consideration when you do use them.

No matter how I have my highs aimed they are going to blind other drivers.

Agreed, but now moreso than before. If you're in Queens I'm going to assume you use them very little anyway.


Off-Topic: Do you have HIDs already or are planning some? I plan to order mine soon but want some help installing.

I only use my highs when I need them. I do a lot of driving upstate so I use them alot in the mountains up here...

I dont have HIDs yet but I do plan on it eventually. Let me know, and if Im in the area I may be able to help you out

I just recently installed them into my lows.

I stuck the ballasts to the underside of the headlight assemblies and zip tied the igniter to the vehicle harnesses that were nearby both headlights.

So I spoke to the ebay seller that sold me my Nokya Hyper yellows and they sent me a new set...

Guess what... The highs are even now!

But here is a question... Can anybody tell me a possible reason why my pass. side low beam is brighter than my driver's side low beam?

Thanks

:thmsup:

^ Yeah thanks man.... I was happy about the high beams being even now

Try switching the bulbs :lmao:

Maybe it's going out?

Lol..... Maybe it is. I am gonna get HIDs in about a month or so anyway so Im not going to worry about it right now.

yeah bulbs tend to dim overtime <-----obvious statement of the day

Lol well yeah that makes sense... I was just thinking that somehow maybe there couldve been something wrong with the wiring or something...

how do you like your yellow high beams? they're 9005s right?

my right head light is brighter than the other because I hit a deer and replace one head light. The new head light is brand new and clear compared to the other old headlight so the lights are brighter on one side than on the other. Not sure if your right head light was replace too?

Yeah theyre 9005s... I love them... Dont plan on going back to white

No my light wasnt replaced. They are both equally clear too.

sweet. do you remember who sold them to you in case i buy some and they are messed up that way i know they'll replace them?

The seller is PitStopTuning.

I dont think you will have a problem with the lights. There are many people on here with Nokya Hyper Yellow 9006 bulbs and no problems like that. Just so happened that I got a bad set

9006 or 9005?
